Chloramphenicol ear drops are an antibiotic treatment for bacterial ear infections, effective against a broad range of bacteria. They are administered directly into the ear, with dosage and duration determined by a healthcare professional. These ear drops are contraindicated for individuals allergic to chloramphenicol or with certain medical conditions. Side effects may include stinging, burning, itching, or redness, and severe adverse reactions, although rare, require immediate medical attention. Always follow the healthcare provider's instructions when using this medication.
